The Parable of the Raft

The parable of the raft can be applied to many different situations. The buddha taught that it's important to let go when your life depends on something. But in what way do you conti to carry the raft with you? And at some point i'm like the younger of those two monks who realizes i haven't le ago. It's been festering. I think there are so many levels that you can applythe to in dayto day life.
